If you were unaware that actor Steve Martin doubles as a bluegrass music legend – and a damn fine banjo player – then your excuses for not knowing are wearing thin. With chanteuse Edie Brickell he recently won his fifth Grammy award, and here they offer up one of the finest hours of live music you'll hear all year. Recorded in California in late-2013, the CD/DVD contains moments both tender (When You Get To Asheville), and light (Atheists Don't Have No Songs).
